I have a nest gen 2, Is it possible to have an insteon outlet turn on when the nest kicks on the blower fan for either heating or cooling?  I have some register boosters that I would like to have triggered to come on this way.  If it is not possible with the nest how would I go about doing it or can it be done at all?

Not directly but depending on what you have for hardware you can probably do it. I know you can do it with a pi and an isy and some custom code (which you can find on here) if you have a hub you might be able to do it with IFTTT.

 

Might help if you provide which components you have

I don't have anything yet. I'm kind of in the planning stages. I was thinking about getting an ISY.

My understanding is ISY doesn't have any direct integration with Nest due to Google's requirements for use of API.   A possible way to accomplish this is to sense when the fan is running using a device as the In-LineLinc Relay.

Update to this:  According to Nest, Nest added the "hvac_state" to the API that returns "heating", "cooling", or "off" so a hub programmer could set up what I need.

 

Can the ISY do this??
